Pressed & Framed
Keep the flowers you carried
The bouquet is the one thing from the day that was made to be temporary. It doesn't have to be. We press the flowers we designed for you and set them behind glass — the same palette, the same stems, kept in a piece you can hang.
Because we designed your florals, the flowers never leave our hands. Nothing gets boxed up and couriered across the country while it wilts. They go from your reception straight to the press, at their best.
How it works
Four steps, and one of them is yours
Add it when you book
Tell us at contract, or any time before the wedding. We set aside what needs to be kept while we're building your florals, so nothing is decided in a rush on the day.
We take the flowers home
At the end of the night, your bouquet comes back with us — no packing, no shipping, no overnight courier. Pressing begins while the blooms are still at their best.
Pressed, then designed
The flowers dry under press for several weeks. Then the piece is composed by hand — this is a design job, not a mounting job, and it's the part that takes the time.
Collected or delivered
Framed, wrapped and ready. Collect it from the studio in Austin, or we'll arrange delivery locally. It usually lands a few months after the wedding, which is a lovely time to get post.
What you can keep
Three ways to frame a wedding
A single study
One bloom, given room to breathe. The quietest of the three, and the one that suits a hallway or a bedside wall. Often chosen as a gift for a mother.
The bouquet, composed
The whole palette laid out as a design — every variety you carried, arranged rather than flattened. The piece most couples mean when they ask for this.
A pair, or a set
Your bouquet and a boutonniere, or a run of smaller frames from the same flowers. Good when two households want a piece of the same day.
Questions
Do the colours stay true?
They shift, and honestly so — pressed flowers are not photographs. Whites warm, deep reds darken, and some blues fade more than others. We choose which stems to press partly on how well they'll hold, and we'll tell you before the day if something in your palette is likely to change a lot.
What if we didn't use Juniper for the wedding?
We take a small number of outside bouquets when the calendar allows. You'd need to get the flowers to us in Austin within a day or so of the wedding, which is the part that makes it harder — the advantage of pressing your own florist's work is that we're already holding them.
Can we choose the frame?
Yes. We'll show you frame and mat options once we know the size and where it's going to hang. Most couples land somewhere quiet — the flowers are the colour in the room.
Where should it hang?
Out of direct sunlight. Pressed flowers keep for many years in ordinary indoor light, but a south-facing window will fade them the way it fades anything.
